Bautista, Albesiano and Bradl Aprilia

Presented at Losail the bike with which Bautista and Bradl will race the World of the premier class. Colaninno: "Aprilia is the most advanced platform of Piaggio Group". Albesiano: "important and ambitious Season"

Here is the new Aprilia, finally. Gray, with inserts of red and green ( "recalls the Italian flag" smiles Alvaro Bautista), the RS-2016 GP is ready to direct confrontation with opponents, after the debut, behind closed doors, here in Qatar last week. "More than one test was making contact, to understand the reactions of the pilots" explains the Aprilia technical director, the engineer Romano Albesiano. The season 2015 was difficult for the Noale, but had been budgeted: the bike from last year derived from the series, this is a real MotoGP. "Considering its origin, the RS-2015 GP has done miracles: the 2016, however, is another matter entirely, must open a road, represent the future Aprilia in MotoGP" says Albesiano, conscious that the way ahead it is still very difficult, because to be competitive against Honda, Yamaha, Ducati and Suzuki takes time and investment.


TWO YEARS - The technical director of Noale traces the birth and development of the new project. "We started talking about this bike two years ago, with the first assembly drawings and then the engine configuration, is the most ambitious project ever made by our racing department. Compared to the previous year is a true prototype, lighter, more extreme. the first feelings of Bautista and Bradl were encouraging: the RS-GP is handier, compact, directional.

"Continue to learn about this bike, bring out the limits, collect data, go home with a reasonable performance," explains Albesiano noncommittally at odds, without going into too much detail. "In 2015 - are the words of Bautista - there was a development plan and was a bit 'frustrating get on track: Now it's completely different, this is a real MotoGP, easier to drive and with an engine more regular. it takes time, but there is a basis on which to work. "


STRATEGIES - "From the point of view of the Group's strategies, Aprilia Racing is not only the sports team of Aprilia - the words of Roberto Colaninno, president and CEO of the Piaggio Group - is the most advanced platform for experimentation and technological development for the ' entire Piaggio Group, which benefit all products and all brands. for this reason, from this season 2016 motorcycle livery is clearly the Piaggio Group logo. the technology developed for the racing business is not in fact intended only to races but it is used to test innovative solutions that will be applied to road products, from super sports motorcycle until the scooter, with the ultimate objective of improving the performance of our products, their safety and the ability to offer our customers pleasure and fun to drive ".

Thai Superbike FP2 van der Mark roars but watch the Cannibal Rea

Michael van der Mark

The Dutchman gives wings to Honda, but Rea is the most decisive step on. Well Torres, Ducati in difficulty. Race one on Saturday at 10 Italian.


Michael van der Mark throws the old Honda CBR atop the standings on Friday but beyond the substantial advantage of the Dutch talent Jonathan Rea is usually the favorite to win in the first challenge of Buriram. With the new format after Friday there is no time to prepare for race one, aside fifteen minutes of warm up.

So it is strategic mettesi in place very quickly. And in Thailand this goal has been particularly difficult because the FP1 was practically useless because the sand on the track.


Honda lapped in 1'34 "629, about one second from the record in 2015 by Jonathan Rea, a sign that the path begins to rubber, nothing to do with furrows in the sand in the morning. Van der Mark has left behind the two Yamahas of Sylvain Guintoli and Alex Lowes, then there Rea trailing by 685 thousandths, but put very well on the pitch. Kawasaki has used only two tires and with the second Jonathan has a substantial part of the planned race of 20 laps. Van der Mark made two time attack with a fast lap on the third of four steps. The afternoon surprise, in a sense, was Jordi Torres has remedied the morning slipped (the first lap!) Brought the BMW to third place. Even for only very short outputs Spanish, for which the potential is to be evaluated.

The dish but not banal track Buriram has exalted the protagonists of a year ago, as if the technical changes have had less weight of the attitude of the pilots. Alex Lowes, for example, went to the podium with Suzuki and even van der Mark and Guintoli were strong gone. Same story, unfortunately for the Ducati that just does not digest this track. Chaz Davies last year fell twice, this time it's only eighth ahead of his teammate Davide Giugliano absent in 2015 due to injury. More than aiming at the World Kawasaki here seems light years away.

Bad day even in Aprilia Alex De Angelis has had electronic problems, and he shot very little, Lorenzo Savadori broke the engine in the second session. Had in mind it would be tough, saved participation at the last moment and beginning the World Cup without testing. But it is too ...

Superbike "Dorna, because you left Marco Melandri on foot?"

GettyImages

Alberto Vergani, the driver manager, calls into question the Spanish promoter. "Flammini was more and in the case of Biaggi was decisive." Background: Melandri has a sponsor but lacks the bike?


Jailbird was the special "Superbike, which numbers!" Published by gazzetta.it Alberto Vergani, Marco Melandri's manager took a look at the statistics and, cast, wrote to Dorna putting in copy also corsedimoto. The accusations are the tough ones: according Vergani the promoter of the Superbike World Championship is guilty of not helping Marco Melandri finding a place despite the honors and the role of pilot Italian reference that would have automatically assumed.


Melandri
The Vergani provocation pushing to draw a parallel with Maurizio Flammini, the previous manager, who in 2007 made false papers to convince Max Biaggi to race in Superbike, spianandogli the road.
The Vergani move is confirmation that Melandri is looking for a motorcycle. The pebble in the pond made a lot of noise, now we'll see if there will be reactions from Dorna. And 'interesting to note that Vergara has summoned Marc Saurina, the commercial director of the Superbike, that is, the manager in charge of sponsorship and number three in the chain of command. The head of SBK operations is Javier Alonso and his right arm is Daniel Carrera. That Vergara has in hand a sponsor interested in Melandri to race but we are currently not available or team or motorbike? E 'hypothesis, but very intriguing.


Below we report the full letter Vergani to Dorna.

Hello Marc!

Rea e Sykes
Reading the special edition of the Journal this morning I decided to write my regret at the absence of Marco from World SBK. Unfortunately I could not find a place for him and the organizer is not able to do what was Flammini (with Biaggi for example) at the time when he had to compete against Dorna.

It is not a complaint but an objective fact about a driver who does not want to retire and who won 19 games in four seasons. Among those activities only Sykes and Rea thanks to a supermoto who wins by four years. Sorry for consideration but the facts are these.

A hug

Alberto Vergani

Prime IRTA Test at Losail Moto 3 with Jorge Navarro fast, Honda to the rescue and with the best of Italian Antonelli before Fenati.


navarro_test


A first "night" IRTA Test of Moto3 class at Losail International Circuit in the name of Jorge Navarro. The young Iberian rider, the second year in a row with Monlau Honda and among potential candidates for the title in 2016, in 2'06 "176 clocked the best reference lap in line with Niccolò Antonelli pole in 2015 (now in 4th as the first Italian rider in the ranking) to precede Livio Loi and a Fabio Quartararo back great protagonist.


CHARGED HONDA, KTM BUT ... - If in previous disputatisi IRTA Test in Jerez de la Frontera were the KTM dictate, at Losail is back great protagonist Honda. With NSF250RW 2016 renewed on different aspects (new throttle body fairing, air box, minor adjustments to the double-exhaust) and subjected to a 'crash diet' (from 2 to 3kg lost compared to 2015) by the HRC engineers, in the prime of activity Jorge Navarro has spoken of levels to say the least convincing: 2'06 "176 the 'tempone' printed during the second session, in line with the pole in 2015 achieved by Niccolo Antonelli in 2'06" 170 . A pretty good time trial for the Iberian rider to his second consecutive season with the Monlau Competición, best Honda in substantially all of the previous tests, which continued at high levels on the track where, last year, began his ride to the recognition of conquest ' Rookie of the Year '. Vice-Champion CEV Moto3 2014 as well preceded in another ranking conducted by Honda GP winner at Indianapolis in 2015 Livio Loi, strong second with personal best lap of 2'06 "462 achieved in the final session, confirming the colors RW Racing GP on good form despite a 2016 Regulation on the paper to him particularly unfavorable (minimum weight from 149 to 152kg, not really the best for a 'jockey' as the Belgian of Italian origins). Much the same for Niccolo Antonelli, best among the Italian riders in the ranking with the time 2'06 "689 on CBC Corse Honda, with Honda that also rewards Jakub Kornfeil (2'06" 916) even fourth overall last turn. And the KTM? Do not disfigure at all.

FIRST FINANCIAL TRICOLORE - In Jerez was "Grand'Italia", at Losail early evening of tests already with several confirmations. Under the 2'07 "they have reaffirmed the already mentioned Niccolo Antonelli (step OK) and Romano Fenati (three turns through thick and thin, essential to sharpen the feeling with the KTM 2016), but the good news is the growth of Andrea Migno , author of a final lap to highlight that certifies him in seventh place overall. Over the 2'07 "with three sessions expenses for comparative tests of set-up instead Enea Bastianini (2'07" 346, 9th of Honda Gresini), to debut at Losail and under the spotlight Nicholas Bulega instead unplugged fifteenth lap of 2'07 "605 after a bad start. For the pilot of San Clemente as well as for the other rookies expected (Bednsneyder convincing today 10 °, 13 ° and well Mir newfound Canet 14 °) will be three days of basic tests to know the track in preparation for the race weekend, testing valuable for other reasons in Mahindra house. The new MGP3O 2016 is not convincing because the speed potential and motorsport relegating Jorge Martin and our Francis 'Pecco' Bagnaia logo spite respectively in 19th and 20th position in fact just under 2 "from the top, out of the top-20 also Andrea Locatelli (KTM Leopard, 24 °), Fabio Di Giannantonio (Rookie at Losail, 26th of Honda Gresini), close the ranking order Stefano Valtulini, Fabio and Lorenzo Spiranelli Petrarca, trio at the first exit on the Qatari track.

MotoGP, Pedrosa warns: "At the moment Honda is back"

Marc Marquez

The Spaniard of the HRC: "We need time to grow, we struggled to find the setting of the bike with new tires and refurbished electronics, and we have to push to recover the other"



While Marc Marquez was able to close the last pre season tests MotoGP session with a sharp, achieved thanks to the buoyancy distortion of his Honda, his mate Pedrosa does not yet seem to have found the key to the problem. "It was not the pre-season that I dreamed - said Dani at motogp.com - we struggled a lot to try to make the bike work with the new tires and the renewed electronics, but we could not be fully in place for the first race . at the moment we are behind, we must take one step at a time and hope to get some results soon to return to full competitiveness. "


The progress of Ducati and Suzuki might help to challenge Honda and Yamaha and Pedrosa understands the threat: "The Ducati - Dani says - is a bit 'lead with electronics because it is derived from their technology of the past and we then we need to recover the delay. We need a little 'more time, we have to push to be as fast as them and nudge the bike in order to exploit the electronics in the best way. "

Thailandia, doppietta Kawasaki: Rea batte Sykes. Podio Honda

In the first heat of the second round rainbow big test of the world champion that comeback and beats teammate in the final. Third place went to Van der Mark, the fourth for Ducati Davies


There is nothing to do, Jonathan Rea is the strongest, and after just three rounds of twenty-eight World Superbike in 2016 is likely to already have a name and a last name, the same as previously. The 29 year-old from Northern Ireland was struck by lightning mate Tom Sykes in the now customary comparison family outcome for granted. "Here Jonathan is very strong, the second is fine" admitted the loser: words that say it all, Rea flies and the others run for the crumbs.




DOUBLE TRIS - in the sunny afternoon Buriram the world champion in office he dropped a double-tris: third success on the Thai circuit and third in preseason. Since moving in Kawasaki, 29 races ago, Rea has won 17 times and missed the podium only twice, for another coming ... fourth. Although we are just at the beginning of the World Cup season it looks already widely addressed. Sykes has stood up to two thirds of the race, then when the tires started to give Rea was reckless on the victory and has stranglehold.


LESSONS - "Sykes braked very strong, I had to attack me to overcome it with the brakes, it was not easy," said Rea right to set a tone for the day. Others resisted, so to speak, only the Honda driven by a leathery Michael van der Mark snapped belligerently for the first time since the first on the grid won the Superpole in the morning. In the early laps was glued to Kawasaki but after almost crashed shrank more merciful being content with the third step. The Dutch 23 year-old is second in the championship and for the same motorcycle sound is giving lessons to the former MotoGP World Champion Nicky Hayden, who was forced to retire by a mechanical problem when he was only seventh. Difficult day for Ducati, in every sense.



BATTLE DUCATI - Chaz Davies and Davide Giugliano had dangerously touched in Superpole (for a carelessness of the Roman) and the race have engaged in a no holds barred brawl that could trigger a complete disaster. It 'lasted until two laps from the end when Giugliano fell by only back on track but unscathed out of the points, with Davies fourth but 17 seconds from Rea. The World stated goal earlier in the season to date seems a chimera. But the season is long. Small ray of light for Aprilia Alex De Angelis ninth ahead of Lorenzo Salvadori. Eleventh place for the MV Agusta who bet on the British Leon Camier (for issues of contract already signed) giving up Marco Melandri that he would run for free.
